ETA: Thanks to everyone who commented on this post about feminism; your perspectives really helped. I did edit the tumblr post a little. I've also un-privated the previous post.
I thought your post was great and reasonable, for what it's worth. You are totally a feminist, as you say. But I see and understand how it can get discouraging, feeling as if not sliding into that specific kind of mainstream Jezebel feminism negates the claims you make about yourself. I've felt that way too, and about other social justice movements on the internet in addition to feminism.
Yeah, as soon as I look at social justice on the internet outside of fandom, I start to feel like it's just about a lot of screaming. And maybe that's because fandom IS on the internet, and we're talking about things on the internet. While the other movements are mostly talking about things off it, yet using the same weird combative blogger tone that doesn't really seem to get anyone anyplace.
